A MESSAGE FROM HEADMASTER DOUG LAGARDE

S

chools have arrived at a pivotal point in terms of navigating the fundamental changes in how we educate our students; changes, for the most part, that have been directed by the advancements in technology.

Embracing these advancements to enhance teaching and learning while, at the same time, staying true to Severn’s mission and philosophy will create a delicate balancing act for school people in the coming years. This balance is reflected in the Technology and Innovation Imperative of Severn’s recently a dopted Strategic Plan: www.severnschool.com/2014strategicplan Today's technology brings with it an enormous capacity for individuals and small collaborative groups to innovate, to be entrepreneurial, and to not just consume knowledge but to create it. Whether it is through exploring the wonders of a Maker’s Lab, or distance learning or by creating one’s own digital textbook, or using ever evolving apps and 3D printers, today's digital citizens have the ability to participate in a vibrant culture where learning involves not just thinking but also doing. Our faculty and students live in a world of rich media where information comes in many forms and where meaning is achieved through manipulation and interaction.

Severn will lead in developing age appropriate responses to technological trends and influences to allow its faculty and students to harness increasingly powerful technologies, to think innovatively in varied learning and work environments and to develop an entrepreneurial spirit in the classroom and in life. As we incorporate relevant technologies, Severn also will remain committed to developing deep relationships between faculty and students to foster a culture where students learn to fail successfully - to hit a dead end, learn from the misstep, and through adaptation move forward.

Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO, states, “Schools are by and large incurious and risk averse. Creative learners are not. This isn’t news, but we’ve created a culture in education that comes nowhere close to understanding the power of failing well at every level, from leadership to teacher to student.” In his book, "Creating Innovators," Tony Wagner writes, “students, today, have no idea what they are interested in because they have been pushed to achieve not guided to explore.” If you want to innovate you have to take risks. In this issue of The Bridge, you will find articles demonstrating how innovation and creativity are flourishing at Severn; how we are fostering entrepreneurial skills through coursework, special projects and, once the new building is complete in the fall, a space dedicated specifically to this initiative. The Innovation Lab will provide Severn students the resources to explore and cultivate passions, will challenge the limitations of traditional education, will allow students to bring their passions forward in an inspiring and supportive environment, will foster resilience – a student's ability to seek challenges, withstand setbacks, embrace responsibility, and use the lessons of experience to move forward, will foster exploration and achievement and will foster the attitudes and habits of mind of innovation and entrepreneurism.

You will also find the 2013-2014 Donor Report (page 34) as part of this publication. The Donor Report reflects the philanthropic spirit of our community, the effective stewardship of

our trustees, and the incredible achievement of our faculty and students made possible by the resources entrusted to us. Gifts to the Severn Annual Fund, Capital Campaign and endowment allow us to continue to provide an exemplary education for our students, support outstanding faculty and provide learning spaces that honor the good work of our students and faculty.

Every corner of our School has been touched by your generosity.

The incredible success shows that our alumni, friends and parents are invested deeply in the monumental transforative work of Severn School.

"Each one of us is the beneficiary of those who have come before, and it is incumbent upon the present to carry on the legacy for the future."

Charting our destiny, however, is one with no end. Our goals are too ambitious and our students and faculty too talented for us not to plan for and aggressively seek support for their future.

Each one of us is the beneficiary of those who have come before, and it is incumbent upon the present to carry on the legacy for the future. By keeping Severn School a philanthropic priority, alums, parents and friends can continue to proclaim a confidence in Severn’s present and an excitement about its future.

It is inspiring to be witness to and to be part of the genuine philanthropic culture that thrives at Severn. This culture will secure Severn’s ability to deliver on its mission of excellence in its second century. It has been my privilege and honor to work with the Severn community as we, together, work tirelessly for the School and its people. On behalf of those who work with our students, I, again, thank you for your unwavering support.

Severn is, indeed, fortunate to have such generous supporters as those listed in the Donor Report. For each of you, we are internally grateful.

Go Admirals,

Doug Lagarde FALL 2014

"The parachute packers are the unsung heroes," observed junior Maddie McDaniel '16, after attending a day-long Leaders in Action: Ordinary People Doing the Extraordinary conference at the U.S. Naval Academy.

The conference traced historical examples of heroism as well as modern accounts of courage, perseverance and leadership. The keynote speaker was Captain Charlie Plumb. He is a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, former Navy fighter pilot, POW, and is one of the most sought-after achievement speakers of his time.

On his 75th mission, with only five days before he was to return home, he was shot down, captured, tortured, and imprisoned in an 8 foot by 8 foot cell as a prisoner of war for 2,103 days. He shared his story of survival, overcoming adversity, and rising to the challenges of life.

"The packers don't want or receive any recognition," continued Maddie.

"Captain Plumb told us that we all have different parachute packers in our lives and we can't forget to thank them. I went straight home and thanked my mom for being my parachute packer."

"We are delighted to be included in the USNA leadership conference this year," said Upper School Head Bea Fuller. "We devote much attention to teaching leadership and developing leaders at Severn through our grade level seminars, our leadership labs, community meetings, and retreats.

We look forward to learning about the leadership program at the USNA, particularly given our strong historical ties to the institution."

33 Upper School students attended the symposium. Other presenters included Medal of Honor recipients and a panel of wounded warriors who discussed heroic perseverance.

"This was an incredibly moving, challenging, and inspiring experience for all who attended - students and faculty. It was a day in which we found ourselves completely removed from the predictable beat of high school and immersed in the stories, lessons, values, and philosophies of some of the extraordinary individuals who have served in our armed forces," added Upper School Dean of Students Josh Klein. "We were introduced to an extraordinary breadth of personalities but also a common set of values and sense of optimism. I think that every one of us took away a quote, emotion, or story that will help to guide us in our refreshed outlook on life."

Eric Duguay '17 opted to attend the forum to listen to and learn from the experiences of demonstrated leaders. "These men hold years of experience... and they will only be with us for a certain amount of time. We must gain all the knowledge and wisdom that we can from them... and apply the lessons they learned the hard way."

Serenade at Fort McHenry Severn's fifth grade class performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" during Fort McHenry naturalization ceremony.

September 26, 2014 – Baltimore, MD — Many were moved to tears as the Severn School fifth grade class sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Fort McHenry, moments after 40 people were sworn in as U.S. citizens on Friday, September 26.

The Honorable Beth Gesner, US District Court Judge (mother of Meg '13 and Burt '18) and the Honorable Richard Bennett '65, also a US District Court Judge, presided.

"Attending a naturalization ceremony is the culminating event for our

unit on Immigration and Personal Heritage. The students begin by investigating their own family stories, and through a large variety of cross-curricular activities, make connections among themselves and immigrants around the world," noted fourth grade teacher Ms. Heather Mayers.

Following the naturalization ceremony and a refreshment break, our students then serenaded a group of WWII veterans who were visiting the Fort. "It was incredibly moving - not a dry eye in the house," recalled Judge Gesner.

It takes a village.

Welcome to the Learning Village, where innovation and the learning process thrive.

ike our Middle School students, our teachers link the start of a new school year with much anticipation and goal-setting. It is a time to start fresh, to sand away the rough spots from the previous year, a stage to focus on positive change and personal growth.

The beginning of this actual school year presented a new challenge.

The majority of our teachers and students would teach and learn in a new environment. As a faculty, we discussed this change in positive ways at our August faculty meetings. What is truly worth mentioning, however, is the tone the students themselves established in the opening days of school.

From the start, our students set a quality example for the community: that with a nimble, adaptable mindset, individual progress will ensue.

It's true that there are differences with the Learning Village and the old Teel Academic Center classrooms. Students like the new classrooms in the learning village, with approximately the same space as those in the old Teel Academic Center. Students are in close proximity to the Middle School faculty, therefore it makes it very easy to seek out answers to academic and personal concerns.

Students have a front-row seat every day to the construction of the new building - and understandably are ready and excited to move in.

The Learning Village has brought the Middle School together as a stronger unit; and through adaptability and innovation we have overcome the limitations of the year.

Along with the physical changes and progress, the academic progress continues to thrive as students engage in and gain from the learning process. The boys and girls in our Middle School have committed to their studies as happily and rigorously as ever. As I walked around the Village on the first school days, I noticed students silently writing on their iPads and Smartboards glowing with class information. Boys and girls were also working collaboratively as well as committing to quiet, individual study.

Such classroom scenes are what I love about being an educator—kids intellectually engrossed, with little regard (at least not yet) for earning an “A,” but with much concern about the delight in learning. No doubt, I believe our students should aim to achieve, and they do achieve in many ways, but what makes academic accomplishments not only possible but also personally enriching is when a student truly takes part in the process of an education.

It is the learning process that indeed thrives in our Middle School at Severn School.

MAKER SPACES Dan Madison, Lower School Computer and Technology Coordinator and Eric Witzel, Upper School Science Chair The immediate goal of the session was to design a marshmallow shooter, but implicit in that is

the challenge of how to design a project based learning activity and how to get students to think outside of the box. Participant worked in teams;

they got the basic set-up for making the shooters.

After that they were instructed to make a better marshmallow shooter. Then they needed to design what “better” would mean and adjust the design accordingly. Many elements came into play, especially the role of experimentation and the value of keeping things open ended.

VIRTUAL FIELD TRIPS Karen Bennett, Lower School 4th grade teacher In this session, Karen talked about the open-ended possibilities of "Out of Eden" - a worldwide travel project of Paul Salopek, a journalist trekking the globe to follow the path of human migration across the earth. Karen made strong connections

to this project and the idea of innovation and discovery - not seeking a particular result and exploring to see what happens. Erin Lewis, Library Assistant, spoke of Google Cultural

Institute and Smithsonian X3D that are both self-guided, online options that have interac-

tive capabilities. Whitney Etchison, Assistant Librarian, talked about unique ways to use Skype for education. One activity participants explored was Mystery Skype, in which two classrooms of

students, playing twenty questions, try to identify each other’s geographic locations.

ATHLETICS NEWS

Excerpt from Senior Captain Kate Reed's championship meet speech:

"My fellow runners, my gazelles, my steadfast companions in the pursuit of athletic excellence: We will show them that true excellence is derived not merely from numbers on a scoreboard or times on a stopwatch, but also from the passion, the exuberance, the love that is so readily abundant on this team. We, who have run hundreds of miles together; we, who have crested each hill and flown through every sprint; we, who have beaten every single other team; we are going to do today what has not been done in far too long. We are going to win. We are going to destroy this course, bring it to its knees. We will show no mercy, and we will run as one, each of us bound to the next by invisible but unbreakable ties of companionship and love. There is no obstacle too great for us, if we tackle it together. There is no hill too high, no course too muddy, no team too fast. With this knowledge, friends, we set out to do battle. Long

have we lurked in the shadows, unrecognized, unnoticed. Yet now, like the Trojan horse with its hidden armies, we prepare to unleash the full power of our team. As you run this course, ladies, remember what is at stake, but also remember to cherish this moment, to revel in it. You have done the work. You have run the miles. You know what we must do. All that remains is to do it."

The Value of Volunteers

T

hey say that the greatest gift that you can give someone is your time. As the new volunteer liaison at Severn, I am privileged to work with hundreds of volunteers who share their gift of time every day. Having been a first grade assistant for the past three years, and with children of my own in Severn's fourth and eighth grades, I have also been on both sides of volunteering—I have shared my time and have experienced the benefits of volunteer time well spent.

As a volunteer parent, I understand what goes into making everything from a small reception to a large celebration successful. The level of planning, thought, and detail for each event is a full time job in and of itself. Yet our volunteers manage to squeeze time into their already packed schedules and make it look easy for more than 100 Severn events a year.

As a staff member, I have seen the expressions on the faces of other staff, students, and faculty who have benefited from the time put into making an event both meaningful and memorable. And now, as a volunteer liaison, I am even more appreciative and humbled by the magnitude and dedication of those who share their time without question each and every day.

Without your gift of time, Severn School would not look and feel the way it does today.

As our two campuses continue to grow as one school, one of my many goals it to help further unify our volunteer efforts. There

will always be events that are specific or more appropriate to each campus, but sharing your gift of time at both campuses is an advantage to us all. If you are a volunteer parent of an older student, helping out at the Lower School may bring back a fond memory or provide a different perspective to other parents. Likewise, volunteering at a Middle or Upper School event as a parent of a younger child gives you a bird's eye view into what is coming down the way and helps others question why and how things are done or how to make it even better. Either way, working together will help us get to know each other more and continue to make Severn the unique community that it is and always has been.

Thank you for sharing such a valuable part of your life with all of us at Severn. I truly look forward to using your time wisely, and to making sure the giving of your time is just as memorable to you as to those receiving the benefits of your work.

Soon after graduating in 1941 from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Capt. Delano was assigned as a newly commissioned gunnery officer to the USS West Virginia. The battleship was docked at the Pearl Harbor naval base in Hawaii when Japanese aircraft attacked on December 7, 1941. Vic helped get two machine guns working on the West Virginia, showing other sailors how to use them, according to news accounts. As the West Virginia sank in the harbor, Vic swam to safety. He later served aboard ships in the Pacific and, after the war, commanded a minesweeper in Japan. During the Korean War, he was the commanding officer of a destroyer, the USS Eversole. At the time of his Navy retirement in 1969, he served on the staff of Adm. Thomas Moorer, the chief of naval operations. His decorations included two awards of the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart. He received a master's degree in nuclear physics in 1949 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and was assigned to the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico in the early 1950s. Capt. Delano was a resident of Chevy Chase and also had a home in Naples, Fla. He was a trustee of the Naval Academy Alumni Association and served 20 years as treasurer of the Naval Historical Foundation. Among his volunteer work, he was a past director and vice president of the Friends of the National Zoo and a board member of the Kingsbury Center, a D.C.-based organization providing educational opportunities. His wife of 39 years, Jacqueline Stinson Delano, died in 1990.

Survivors include two children, Katherine Delano Jahnig of Chevy Chase and Harvey Delano II of Sacramento, Calif.; and two grandchildren.

Dutch Spanagel sent in the following: “I received the summer edition of The Bridge which I found most appealing, especially when I think back to the paperwork turned in our day. It was especially pleasing to see Severn advancing so splendidly from what was a couple of permanent structures and an assortment of wooden classroom buildings. There was a small cadre of students (day students) who rode the WB&A daily up to and home again to Annapolis. Especially of note (p. 28) was a shot of Buzz Hall and George Boaz.

Whenever I receive any form of news from the old school I note, with regret, there is seldom anything about our class; paramont, who among the gang have gone on to the Happy Hunting Ground. I spent most of my Navy service here in Florida.

Of significance was service on USS Observation Island (EAG-154), the initial at sea test ship for the fleet ballistic missile, Polaris, for three years.

Then what followed, interrupted by a few more years back pushing destroyers about, was on the joint staff for manned space flight for projects Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and Space Station.

Those were unquestionably the best years of my life, the most fulfilling. Have always felt it was a national error, in light of the ever increasing accomplishments of the program, came to fore the death of the Apollo program…just think of the station we could have had on the moon by now!”

I N M E M O R I A M John Thomas Shehan Sr.,

passed away on November 8, 2011. A boarding student for the 1949-1950 school year, John Thomas played varsity football and was involved with the dramatic club. In Mr. Teel’s 1950 letter of recommendation to Dickinson College, he noted that John Thomas “is personally one of the finest boys I have ever known.

As a student, he is hard-working and serious… and would be an excellent citizen of the college.”

I N M E M O R I A M John “Jack” Tucker, 80, died on November 11, 2011 at home after a long and valiant battle against ALS. Jack was born in Annapolis on February 8, 1931 to John Ivan Tucker, Sr. and the former, Louise Margaret Spicknall. Jack was a true Annapolitan, growing up on South River, enjoying young adulthood on Spa Creek and returning in later years to the Chesapeake Bay area within easy reach of his roots. In 1951, he left the Academy and enlisted in the Korean War effort, completing a year of Mandarin Chinese at the Army Language in Monterey, Calif., prior to serving with the Army Security Agency in South Korea.

Upon separation from the military in 1954, he resumed his studies at the University of Maryland and graduated with honors in 1956 with a BA in government and politics. In 1957, at the University of Illinois, he fulfilled all course work requirement for an M.A. in the same field.

Despite the political science background, Jack pursued a variety of endeavors in his professional career. He worked as an industrial engineer at Montgomery Ward, Alexander Proudfoot and RCA before accepting a position with ARAMCO in Saudi Arabia in 1964, where he served as the superintendent of industrial training. In 1978, he returned to the Annapolis area and began developing real estate in Hillsmere until the opportunity of a McDonald's franchise in upstate New York presented itself in the early 1980's. This business venture went on to capture seven of the eight volume records for its entire region and proved to be the highlight of Jack's occupational achievements. He retired to the Eastern Shore in 1997, where he spent his remaining years of good health power boating, sailing, crabbing, ice skating, traveling, and tending to his cherished waterfront acreage.

Dr. Arias earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in biology from Whittier College and a PhD in entomology from the University of California, Riverside. He spent 39 years in the field of medical entomology; 12 years as a research scientist in the Amazon region of Brazil; 17 years with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO); and 10 years managing the Disease Carrying Insect Program (targeting West Nile Virus) for Fairfax County, Va. His scientific work took him into the jungles of the Amazon where he set up research labs and identified (19) new species of insects, including 14 that are named in his honor. In academia, he established MS and PhD programs in Brazil, Panama and Venezuela. The superior caliber of Jorge's

CLASS NOTES work resulted in his receiving global recognition and many awards, a few of which include the Peter & John Eller Citizenship Award at Severn, PAHO Director's Award, National Capital Lyme Disease Assn. Public Service Award, Mid-Atlantic Mosquito Control Dorer Award, eventually receiving a detailed formal entry describing his achievements on behalf of public safety which was placed into the Congressional Record of the 113th Congress. There are few Severn graduates who have achieved such extraordinary success under such rugged conditions; the rare blood disease (MDS) which finally took his life stemmed from his hands-on work in entomology. I don't remember all the following traits coming to mind while waiting tables at Severn with Jorge, but they certainly describe him now: exhuberant, loving, adventuresome and brilliant. RIP my friend.”

I N M E M O R I A M Jorge Arias was born on May

12, 1943, to Teodoro and Una Scott Arias. Jorge married the love of his life, Kathy Arias, in California in 1971. She was his life partner, his research assistant and his best friend.

CLASS NOTES the ICON Project. David conceptualized the project after having visited craniofacial pioneer Milton Edgerton, MD, his mentor, during a reunion visit to the University of Virginia in 2012. He and a former classmate tracked down Dr. Edgerton and were invited to his home near the university. Not long into the conversation, Dr. Lavine decided to deploy his cellphone's video camera to capture hismentor's thoughts and spirit, both still strong at age 93. "He's trained 37 chiefs of plastic surgery," Dr. Lavine says. "There's hardly a degree of separation between him and where plastic surgery is today."

Preserving the rich history of plastic surgery by retracing the paths that led to breakthrough and innovation - in the words of the surgeons whose insight and creativity helped transform the specialty - is the goal of the ICON Project, an ambitious videographic undertaking

by The PSF and the American Association of Plastic Surgeons (AAPS). Taking a cue from the Library of Congress' Veterans History Project that focuses on World War II veterans, the ICON Project will provide a "living history" of the specialty from the singular perspective of plastic surgery's emeriti, as they reminisce upon their most profound cases that ultimately led to surgical advances. David practices in Fort Worth, Texas. He is co-founder of the Fort Worth Facial Malformation Clinic and volunteers part of his time for tattoo removal of young women who are trying to better their lives and rid themselves of tattoos they no longer want. Dr. Lavine also started the first medical skin care clinic in Fort Worth. The clinic is still an important part of his practice.

While the co-founder and co-chairman at the Fort Worth Facial Malformation Clinic located at the world renowned Cooks Children Medical Center, Dr. Lavine wrote a children’s book about a boy with a strange but whimsical condition.

This children’s book was inspired by the young patients he treated at the clinic and the many obstacles they and their parents had to face.

“Severn is a place where people, as well as ivy, grow,” he commented in the 1981 Navigator.

I N M E M O R I A M Erik John Olfson, 51, avid

sailor, former Severn football and lacrosse standout, loving father and husband, died unexpectedly in his home in Maryland. Erik was born on January 15, 1963 in Annapolis.

He graduated from Hampden Sydney University in 1986 with a degree in economics.

He married Susie Simons in December 1992.

Their daughter Maddie followed in 1997. Erik laughed easily and his humor and tenacity was only matched by his love for his daughter Maddie. A skilled athlete and consummate sports enthusiast, Erik is still revered for his efforts as co-captain of Severn’s undefeated football team during the 1980 season. Erik went on to play both football and lacrosse at Hampden Sydney and was member of Kappa Sigma Fraternity. In over 30 years of service, Erik was an accomplished salesman and leader at ThyssenKrupp and cherished the friendships and camaraderie he enjoyed throughout the elevator industry.

Erik is pre-deceased by his black lab Jack O' Lantern Olfson. Donations may be sent to Severn School, 116 Maple Ave. Severna Park, Md. 21146, "In memory of Erik Olfson '81." (see photo above)

Lisa Marie Anderson PhD is presently an associate professor and faculty head of women and gender studies (WGS) in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University.

According to Arizona State’s website, Lisa’s current research interests include the performance of gender, and race and gender in popular culture. Her most recent book, "Black Feminism in Contemporary Drama," was published

by University of Illinois Press in 2008. Lisa is currently working on a project on the semiotics of race and gender, and a study of the influence of genomics research on individuals' understanding of "race." She teaches graduate and undergraduate courses on film, representation, and performance in WGS. Brooks Tucker updates us with this: “I left the investment advisory business in 2008 after 13 years with three major firms, a decision which in retrospect seems like good timing, and I "did a 180" to pursue a lifelong aspiration to work in the U.S. Congress. Since 2009, I've been working in the Senate, advising on defense and veterans' policy issues and now understand all too well why "How a Bill Becomes a Law" is of marginal usefulness in the current environ-

ment. Last summer, I retired after 20 cumulative years in the Marine Corps Reserve, with deployments to such exotic and often unpleasant places like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Philippines, South Korea, Mali, Republic of Georgia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. I can honestly say the educational foundation and moral compass I took with me from Severn and the follow on experiences in the Marine Corps have both helped me navigate many of the challenging situations I've encountered over the years. I still try to stay involved with the Marines as a volunteer mentor in a unique program called Semper Fi Odyssey, assisting wounded, ill, and injured Marines as they develop a network of support and the life skills to plan for their transition from the military to the civilian world.

The photo above was taken in August 2013 at my retirement ceremony in the Lyndon B. Johnson Room inside the U.S. Capitol. Beside me are my son, Forrest, currently a sophomore at Broadneck High School, my daughter, Kate, a seventh grader at Severn River Middle School, and my wife of 17 years, Anita.

1985 Reunion Year!

Michelle Baker writes, “I am thrilled to announce my first work of fiction, "The Canoe," is now available for Kindle on Amazon and other ebook devices on Smashwords. The print version is available starting November 1. The book is set in 1912. Half the story takes place in a small town outside of Annapolis along the West River, and is loosely based on my grandfather's childhood." Set over the course of ten days in 1912, this poetic portrait of love and loss follows two simultaneous stories: the coming of age of Bernie Kingston, teenage son of a coffin maker who lives along the Chesapeake 28

THE BRIDGE

Bay and the voyage of Katherine Chambers, a middle-aged Englishwoman leaving home for the first time as she seeks to recover from the loss of her husband and son. Written in a journal format, their parallel journeys are told against the backdrop of the Titanic disaster and the communities touched by its tragedy. Side by side, the woman and boy who never meet weave a discourse between youth and middleage, and the dual rites of passage of love and death. The book exposes the reader not only to life’s impermanence and the vulnerability in our shared humanity but also to the richness in the simple details of our relationship with what we love.

2010 Reunion Year!

Alex Coffin announced his plans to bottle and sell a new cola. A recent graduate of the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business, his new soda is called Victory Cola, and will be the first in the super-premium cola category. Victory Cola will be the only soda in the world that will be kept cold from bottling until the point of purchase. Alex, a semi-finalist for a Thiel 20-under-20 Fellowship, developed the idea for Victory Cola at Maryland's Dingman Center for Entrepreneurship. "The Dingman program really helped me to stay on track," said Coffin. "I had the chance to work directly with successful entrepreneurs

within an academic structure and to create an effective business strategy." The company plans to open a bottling plant in the small hamlet of Victory Mills, near Saratoga Springs in upstate New York. Alex spent his early childhood there and is eager to return and bring jobs to the area.

The company, which intends to re-purpose an existing industrial building to make soda pop, is developing the first USDA-certified 100% organic cola. Alex expects that the new business will initially employ about a dozen workers, not including the local carpenters and tradesmen who will be needed in renovating and refitting the new plant. Victory Cola will be made using the legendary waters of Saratoga, real fruits, pure spices and organic cane sugar. The soft drink will contain no artificial ingredients and will be sold in glass bottles - no cans, no plastic, no chemicals. Capital One Bank recently recognized Victory Cola as a promising new venture and awarded the company a small grant.

Victory Cola is in the process of raising seed money as part of a Kickstarter campaign.

Kelsey Fletcher was selected as a member of Phi Beta Kappa National Honor Society and Phi Sigma Biological Sciences Honor Society at Bucknell University.

Arianna Trozze just completed a summer internship at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, and will be attending Oxford University in the UK for graduate school.

Tufts won the DIII Mens Lacrosse Championship last spring with a win over Salisbury. In addition, Cole Bailey was honored at the Tufts

University 2014 Annual Awards Ceremony and received the Clarence "Pop" Houston Award for the Best Male Athlete. (see photo above)

Jack Bremer was cited in Cornell’s sports page: “Bremer was the hardest worker recipient at the team banquet his sophomore year and continues to demonstrate a positive attitude on a daily basis at practice. He swam Cornell best times in the December meet at Ithaca College, however illness restricted him from participating at championships. Bremer's work ethic was evident after battling back from an illness midway through his freshman year to reach best times at the end of the 2013 season. With a healthy season ahead, Bremer has the potential to make a positive impact on the lineup.” (see photo above)

DONOR PROFILE

Betsy Bannat P'90, P'93, P'95 Betsy Bannat shares her planned giving plan, to assist alumni considering making a charitable gift to Severn.

My daughters, Betty Cole Staples '90, Christy Cole Wade '93 and Carrie Cole Pizzi '95, and I care greatly about Severn School because the Severn community has cared about us. Not only did my girls benefit from the academic and athletic challenges offered

by Severn, they — and I — benefited even more from the personal relationships developed with fellow students and with faculty. In fact, two of the three married their Severn boyfriends, Jason Wade '92 and David Pizzi '95.

As a result, I have made a planned gift to Severn, using a plan that I thought might be useful to other donors. This assumes that the donor’s objectives are (1) to put this planned gift into effect with minimal hassle and without incurring legal fees, and (2) to get as much money to the school as possible with minimum aftertax cost to his family.

This plan involves the use of assets held in an IRA account rather than assets owned outright. If such “qualified retirement plan” assets are distributed to family members at the donor’s death, they will be subject to both estate tax and income tax; whereas Severn can receive the same assets free of both income and estate taxation. As a general rule, if assets held outright in the donor’s own name pass to his family members at his death, they will be subject to estate tax but not to income tax. Again, Severn would receive these assets free of all taxes. Exhibit I to the right, is a set of calculations illustrating the point that the donor’s family nets more if his charitable gift is made with qualified retirement plan assets.

Exhibit I Gift of Funds Held in IRA Beneficiary Severn Balance in account $10,000 Income tax

Net IRA funds to beneficiary $10,000 Bequest Under Will Beneficiary Severn Specific bequest $10,000 Income tax Net Probate assets to

beneficiary $10,000

Donor’s Child* $10,000 < 4,000> $ 6,000 Donor’s Child* $10,000 <0> $10,000

*These calculations assume that the donor’s estate is less than the federal estate tax exemption – now $5.34 M. If it is more, the assets passing to a child will be subject to the estate tax whether or not they are held in an IRA.

the handprints of hundreds of subsequent students!

It was a fun way to unknowingly start a tradition and leave a permanent mark on the school – literally.

The second experience I want to mention is Severn football, especially senior year. Jim Doyle coached a massively undersized but smart and fast team to within a few plays of an undefeated season on the way to a conference championship. I’ve played team sports most of my life and that stands out. Great coaching, outstanding camaraderie, hard work, success and lots of fun doing it.

When you visit Severn 10 years from now, what would you hope to find?

Alumni Profile: Jason Scott '95 What did you do after graduating from Severn School?

After I graduated from Severn, I attended the University of Virginia and graduated from the undergraduate business school with a degree in finance and marketing. I took a job in investment banking for SunTrust Bank in Nashville before moving to Atlanta, with a focus on mergers & acquisitions (M&A) and raising equity capital for medium sized businesses in the Southeast. I left SunTrust to start an M&A advisory boutique and helped get that company off the ground before getting my MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.

analysts that cover us. I joined JPMorgan Chase in 2006 as an investment banker and spent seven years in that role, with a focus on providing advisory and capital raising services to banks and specialty lenders.

How do you feel Severn prepared you for college and beyond?

Severn was great preparation for college. With a wide array of honors and AP classes, I had the opportunity to challenge myself as much as I wanted. I was well ahead of the curve when I started at UVA and able to take some higher level classes and interesting electives right away. And going straight to a first year chemistry class that was about the size of Severn’s entire Upper School actually wasn’t that intimidating – I’d already had relevant class work and some lab time. Outside of the classroom, Severn encouraged me to participate in a broad variety of extracurricular activities from athletics to the arts to special interest clubs. Not only were these activities a lot of fun but they also pushed me to juggle a lot of commitments.

What do you remember most about your experience at Severn?

What are you doing now?

Currently, I work for JPMorgan Chase & Co. in New York City as an executive director of investor relations.

I spend my time helping shape the financial strategy and analytics of the firm, and then conveying them externally to our largest shareholders and the research

I’ll highlight a couple things that speak a bit to the Severn community. The first is the day Mrs. Carol Duncan (Upper School fine arts teacher at the time) for some reason agreed to let a few of us fingerpaint...and then put our handprints on the floor of her classroom. We were in fact seniors and not four year-olds. I came back to visit years later to see that nearly the entire floor in her room was covered with

THE BRIDGE AND DONOR REPORT

Said simply, I hope to find a school in better shape than I left it. Luckily a lot of progress has been made.

There are new academic and athletic facilities, as well as pristine fields that make the surface I used to play on look like a parking lot. So, what I’ve seen and I hope to continue to see is continuous improvement – not being satisfied with the status quo. But doing this without sacrificing the small feel of the Severn community and its high academic standards is incredibly important. I wouldn’t want to see that change. Also, I’d like to see the Boone House still standing in 10 years so there would be at least one building left from when I graduated.

Why do you give back to Severn after graduation 20 years ago?

I give back to Severn because it was an important part of my development and I want to help build that experience for others. I don’t live in Maryland and I don’t know if I’ll have kids that attend Severn, but I know my donations make a difference and I can see tangible evidence that they’re being used in a good way – new facilities, new technology and teachers that sincerely care about the students.

What piece of advice do you have for current Severn students or young alumni?

Work hard and don’t expect that simply because you go to a certain school or get a certain job that you can rest easy – it comes back to the concept of continuous improvement I mentioned. Go after lots of new experiences in new places but keep in touch with the Severn network of students, parents and alumni. It includes some of my best friends to this day and a lot of people doing very impressive things with their lives.
